Re: [IRCA] WWFD 820 Becomes First All-Digital AM Station

[Brett Saylor <bds2@xxxxxxx>]

1500 WFED isn't on IBOC right now, and I don't recall it being on any time
recently. According to Barry's site it's been off since 2007.

I just checked my overnight recordings and 820 is solid IBOC hash from 815
to 825 kHz, from sunset to sunrise. I can get around most IBOC noise by
tuning the opposite LSB or USB but this covers the entire frequency. 820 is
now pretty useless as a nighttime frequency. Frederick is 100 miles from
here.
